A remembrance in sound

Psych Ward Victory is more than a collection of songs — it's a reflection, a rebellion, and ultimately, a redemption.

This album remembers a painful betrayal that spiraled into an involuntary commitment, silenced psychiatry abuse, and a long period of hidden struggle. It’s a sonic memoir of surviving manipulation, isolation, and institutional abuse — but it’s also about the quiet, powerful moments of hope and the people who bring light in the darkest hours.

At the heart of this remembrance is Mariya, a Russian American medical nurse whose kindness and courage carried me through what felt like impossible times. Some said she wasn't real — “too good to be true,” or "Where is this hospital?" they said. Only Rev. Nigel, another very important person in my life, ever met her face-to-face. But whether real, imagined for others, Mariya's presence changed my life. And really, what matters is not what’s “real” for others, but what brings us healing.

The tracks on this informal album come from many old pieces I never thought would see the light. They blend individual harmonies from an arrangement called Ikanaide, emotional echoes from an old original piece called La Vie en Hors de Prix, and electronic textures that carry pain, rebellion, and eventual peace. This isn’t a clean story — it’s a collage, just like memory, just like recovery.

It’s not about labeling people as good or bad, or untangling intentions. What matters is to remember those beautiful moments, the ones where unexpected people offered help in times of chaos — and that sometimes, the most real things are those we cannot explain. 

I will write more in my future blog...

"Once in a While" from "The Rocky Horror Show." It's originally sung by Brad, but I changed the key and some pronouns to make it a female song.
